<br />benefits from real-time data collection. The most important element in net- <br />work development is in establishing station interrelationships. Rather than <br />selecting stations, it 1.s more important to incorporate integrated subnet- <br />works. Data collected from one station are not as useful as information' <br />extracted from a subnetwork of stations. This is critical for compact <br />administration, project management, developing water resources accounting <br />systems, and in developing water resources management programs. Changes in <br />the network can be made at any time at the discretion of the State Engineer or <br />one of the Division Engineers. Four stations were substituted for in the last <br />12 months as a result of an evaluation of the utility of real-time data or due <br />to a change in specific water rights administration. The remote data collec- <br />tion hardware is easily removed and installed at a substitute gaging station. <br /> <br />Considerable cooperation was necessary in developing this network. <br />Ninety-nine (99) of the 150 gaging stations installed with remote data <br />collection hardware by the State of Colorado are owned and operated by <br />non-state entities.
